About the Jax Healing Hearts Race 5K & 1M
This race is held on the grounds of a private school on Atlantic Boulevard, with proceeds supporting pediatric cardiology programs at a local children's hospital. The connection to the cause is visible throughout the morning, and the school campus gives the event a contained, easy-to-navigate footprint. The run and the walk start at separate times, so the course stays manageable throughout.
A festival area stays open well after the runners finish, which gives the morning room to breathe. There is time to stick around, which many people do.
